Hold up! Before you read on, please read this...

I keep old posts on the site because I often enjoy reading old content on other people's sites. Not everything that is old is bad. It can be interesting to see how views have changed over time: for example, how my strident teenage views have mellowed and matured.

But given the age of this post, please bear in mind:

My views might very well have changed in the 12 years since I wrote this post. I have written some very silly things over the years, many of which I find pretty embarrassing today.

This post might use language in ways which I would now consider highly inappropriate or offensive.

Factual information might be outdated.

Links might be broken; embedded material might not appear properly.

Okay. Consider yourself duly warned. Read on...

‘We’re, um, not as bad as the Mail, ‘ he says, ‘We’re the Mail on Sunday, um, we’d take, um, a different tack…’

Impressive, even for a Mail hack. It’s part of this story, in which a woman who survived the King’s Cross explosion explains how she dealt with an MoS journalist hoping to persuade her to have a baby after the bombs, or at the very least a birthday. It is well worth reading, not only for the humour, but also to see the true nature of the Mail group (via).
